The Scottish Chamber Choir is based in Edinburgh and rehearses on Monday evenings in the Dean in Edinburgh’s West End.

Although the choir has been based in Edinburgh for more than 50 years, it has performed throughout Scotland to great critical acclaim, and the 2024 premiere of its commission The Lost Lichts – a commission from Ailie Robertson, setting the words of three female poets from north-east Scotland took place, appropriately, in St Machar’s Cathedral in Aberdeen.

With around 30 dedicated singers, the choir has the size and scope to tackle a range of works and to nurture individual and choral skills.

The Scottish Chamber Choir approaches a wide-ranging repertoire with fresh ideas and an enthusiasm for making new musical connections. The SCC takes pride in singing a broad spectrum of music – ancient to contemporary, sacred and secular, accompanied and a cappella.

Our next concert

Three of the city’s leading ensembles come together for a remarkable evening of music. The Meadows Chamber Orchestra, Scottish Chamber Choir and Calton Consort reunite for Mozart’s majestic  Mass in C minor, the sparkling  Magic Flute Overture  and Sibelius’s evocative Pelleas et Mélisande .
